About this home

This amazing historic home was built in 1745, with an original land grant to William Penn. Nestled on over an acre of land, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled and restored, perfectly combining old and new. The modernized, gourmet 34 handle kitchen features stainless appliances, has excellent storage and a full-sized eat in area. Off the kitchen you will find the family room, which showcases a gorgeous stone, wood burning fireplace. The elegant dining room with built ins will be a perfect place to host dinner guests. The living room boasts built ins and an original fireplace. Going up to the second floor, you'll find four generous sized bedrooms. The master bedroom has a private walk out deck and two-story dressing room. The fifth bedroom, located on the third floor, is oversized, with lots of storage and is perfect for a studio or guest room. The deep windowsills, wide wood plank and natural stone speak to a bygone age. The basement is fully finished with ample storage, an original bake oven fireplace, and a workshop. The root cellar has been converted to a wine cellar that can be used year-round. The in-ground pool has brand new fencing and is very private but easily accessible from the yard. Additionally, there is a newly renovated, oversized, two car garage with brand new roof and siding. A lovely mix of old and new. A true Pennsylvania stone house, very rarely seen or for sale in this area. This is a must-see home offering the new owner a forgotten charm and architecture that most can only dream of.

Absolutely amazing historic home. Home was built with original land grant to William Penn. Original home built in 1742. Next section built in 1855. Roof was replaced in 2006. Air conditioning added in 1999. Home has been thoughtfully remodeled and restored. A beautifully updated and remodeled property to fit into day's lifestyle. Spacious rooms throughout with an easy flow. Lots of closet space. Great modernized kitchen with excellent storage and a full sized eating area for table and chairs. Kitchen opens to the family room which showcases a gorgeous stone wood burning fireplace. There is an original fireplace in the LR, a third in an upstairs bedroom and a bake oven in the the basement. Fifth bedroom is super sized, with lots of storage and is perfect for a studio or guest room. The rooms are sunny and bright. Most of the windows have been replaced. The deep sills and natural stone speak to a bygone age. The perfect addition is seen by converting the root cellar to a wine cellar that is used year round. The inground pool is fenced and very private but easily accessible from the yard. A lovely mix of old and new. A true Pennsylvania stone house, very rarely seen or for sale in this area. This is a must see home offering the new owner a forgotten charm and architecture that most can only dream of. Please do not drive up the private drive way.
